Trocaire College Reviews

I have been to multiple colleges, due to moving and switching majors. Out of the three other colleges I have been to, I would rank Trocaire toward the bottom. It is very hard to become involved in extracurricular activities, as they offer very few. Many of the teachers do not make their own coursework, instead they use past teacher's or materials they have found online. The parking situation is atrocious, and sometimes it is very difficult to even find somewhere to park. The expectations placed upon the students by the Dean and some faculty members can often be unattainable without stressing yourself out to the maximum. It is also often hard to get help when you are in need of it as well, whether it be academically or personally related. Many assignments and requirements are given just days before they are required to be finished, which makes it very stressful. At times, it almost feels as though the students do not have a voice.

I absolutely love this college! I am in the nursing program and love it so much because it is small and very student centered. They truly care about you and your grades not just on spitting a bunch of material at you. They start clinical in your first semester which is super helpful and they guide you in every aspect of your education. The only things I would change is the fact they don't have a student parking lot so you park on the street and walk, and that there is no sports, but other than that the school is perfection for me.

The nursing program is tough but I feel confident that the strictness prepares the students to be successful on the state exam and on the job site. I entered the program as a bridge student. It would’ve been helpful to have a more detailed orientation to the program and of other different caveats (clinicals, paperwork expectations).
